Summary

This study compares total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) to balanced anesthesia (using inhaled gas) in 60 diabetic patients undergoing video-assisted chest surgery. The goal is to see which method better controls blood sugar and reduces stress during surgery. Researchers will also monitor side effects like nausea, vomiting, and pain after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Propofol, fentanyl, atracurium (TIVA) vs isoflurane and atracurium (balanced anesthesia)
What this could lead to: If TIVA works better, it could lead to safer anesthesia for diabetic patients, with better blood sugar control and fewer complications during chest surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, single-center study with only 60 participants. Results may not apply to all diabetic patients or surgeries, and the benefit may be small.
